FREEKING GREAT SIGNINGS!!!!!!!!!! GOOD BARGANS WITH GREAT UPSIDES.... BARTELL IS A BEAST!! BIG...FAST AND ONLY 30..... THERE IS THE VET FOR THE SECONDARY THAT COACH ALLEN COACHED BEFORE.... GOOD MOVE RAIDERS

I agree. Larry Fitzgerald is quoted as saying that Bartell is the best corner he has played against. Brieisel is big strong kid already used to ZBS. I like the moves, keep 'em coming!

KC has made some nice moves with Hillis & Boss. SD just picked up Eddie Royal and added Meachem. Denver is quiet but I am just waiting for the punch in the mouth signing of Peyton Manning

I realize we don't have the dough to sign the big names but let's hope that Reggie fills the gaps with solid players. We need a LB like a mofo and the secondary is GAPING at this point.....

Nothing new in Raider land folks....... No money = No action and this is yet another season we see the Raiders waiting on the sideline watching all the talent fade to Black..... Yes every other team in the AFC West has improved their roster....Yes we dumped a ton of talent on the market.....Now....We wait for some hope... a sliver of a chance to get "one" good player for this team..... Next season is going to be one of our worst in the division......Can't see it any other way after the moves made by the rest of the division..... If Peyton Manning goes to Denver we are totally SCREWED!

We have our first reported visit by the Oakland Raiders as they clear cap room to pursue free agents.

The Houston Chronicle reports Texans’ guard Mike Brisiel is visiting Oakland. It makes total sense. Former Houston offensive line coach Frank Pollack has taken over as the Raiders’ offensive line coach and former Houston quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp is Oakland’s offensive coordinator.

The Raiders will move back to a zone-blocking scheme, and Brisiel is skilled in that area. Brisiel has started 47 games in six NFL seasons. He’s been a part-time starter the past three seasons after starting all 16 games in 2008.

He would be a candidate to start in Oakland. The Raiders cut Cooper Carlisle in a salary-cap move Wednesday. He could potentially come back at a lesser price, but he will look at other options.

Another name to keep on eye an in Oakland is St. Louis cornerback Ronald Bartell. The Raiders badly need cornerbacks and he is on the team’s list.

• The contracts of more than 600 players are set to expire before free agency starts March 13, with most of them being unrestricted free agents...

• the uncertainty of an uncapped 2010, created many short-term or back-loaded contracts...

• "This is unprecedented in the NFL," Casserly says. "You've got more free agents than ever in the history of the NFL and a cap that is projected to be the same. So you have less money per free agent than ever before."

Here is a partial list of prominent potential free agents by position:
